Organized, prepared and welcoming - Great experience! Even though the weather changed a few hours into the tour, our guide didn't just tell us "we probably couldn't go up to the summit craters" but suggested lots of alternative routes and visits, making us have an unforgettable day. At the end tasting of local sauces, creams and liqueurs, a delight!

An experience absolutely not to be missed!!! - A fabulous experience! You will see breathtaking landscapes and enjoy explanations and stories thanks to the guide who will accompany you. Our guide, Mimmo, made us fall in love with Etna, telling us little-known details and answering our curiosities, he was able to put us at ease despite the adverse weather conditions. The tasting at the end of the experience was superlative, so much so that it convinced us to literally empty our wallets to buy all the delights on offer.

Out and about with Fabio - Our trekking on Etna gave us the opportunity to observe the most diverse panoramas that this special land offers. Fabio was very good at conveying his passion for this area to us. Until next time!

Inside the soul of Etna - Friendly and very knowledgeable staff; nice group and very nice structure. Our guide, Mimmo, was able to accompany us throughout the journey: with a surprising wealth of knowledge and historical, geological, mythological, botanical curiosities, led us to admire the wonderful views of the Valle del Bove and the Silvestri Craters and - figuratively - inside Etna, its heart, its essence. Without skimping on conversations, at a slow and patient pace, about good music, good cinema, good literature, we chose our pace and were able to count on a wise and respectful knowledge of a truly extreme place in its beauty. Trekking suitable for all tastes. Magnificent experience.

Etna Trekking Adventure - Favio was a great guide. He was very accommodating, going as far as driving us to a bakery to get lunch for the trekk! We were always in control of what we wanted to do and he delivered spectacular views and an off-the-beaten-track path we asked of him. We had an excellent time and loved Etna.

Great experience - Ww went to the hiking tour at Mont Etna. Our Great guide Luca who is very knowledgeable and took good care of us. We learned a lot of Mont Etna, Lava, volcano and surrounding area. The farm where we had lunch was fantastic.

Great place for hiking - We really enjoyed tasting the regional products. Hiking on Etna was a marvellous journey, our guide told us a brief history of the volcano and has shown us beautiful sights, including a view from the side of Etna at sunset.

NO ONE WILL GIVE YOU AS MUCH AS WE CAN PROMISE! - A common tourist trap and a huge disappointment. The company advertises a trip to the crater, which is also the ONLY reason to buy the guide's services. If you want to trek to Etna, guys, buy a return bus ticket in Catania for 6€, a cable car ticket for 50€, and you can climb up and down Etna all day. A guide only makes sense if you want to get up to the crater, where climbing on your own is forbidden. This was also the reason I bought the services of this company. The only decent and good person is the driver, who told us in the morning that we were not allowed to go to the crater because of the weather conditions and that we would therefore just go for a hike halfway up Etna. Of course I didn't want to do that, I wasn't going to give 200€ for that and I wanted a refund. "What's the difference between going free myself and going halfway up Etna with your company? Where is the added value?" "Well... we take a different route through a stand of dwarf trees..." And that's the difference? That's all of it? For €100? A hundred euros? A hundred euros for a different route halfway up Mount Etna?! Of course, there was no refund and my girlfriend and I were so disgusted that we wanted nothing to do with the company and just wanted to go our own way. Our trust was irrevocably gone. So I told the driver to take us to Refugio Sapienza, that we'd buy a cable car ticket there ON OUR OWN, climb part of Etna and he'd wait for us and drive us back to Catania. Yes! We got the most expensive ride from Etna to Catania for the price of two round trip fly tickets Prague - Catania. Careful, guys. There is no ascent to the crater! It's a hike up half of Mount Etna, which you can do on your own and completely free of charge. I wouldn't do anything else with this company even if it was my mother's dying wish. Never, niemals, jamais, mai. One single company and it can ruin your whole vacation.
